You Are So Loved!

It's Bev Gerard, back to share a fun valentine featuring the Li'l Hedgie stamp from Gerda Steiner Designs.

I wanted to tweak the basic card sketch without distracting much from the many polka dots and the darling little hedgie. So I trimmed the lower edge of the top two paper layers with a simple curved stitched border die. Tip: To keep the layers completely aligned, use a removable adhesive tape such as Post-It tape or washi tape to run both layers through machine at one time. If needed, you can re-run the lower piece if needed for a clean cut on that layer. And yes, there are a few random dots that are adorned with pink glitter ... just because.

The sentiment was stamped with VersaFine Clair Morning Mist, as I chose not to have a black ink overwhelm the softer look of the hedgie. Once the sentiment was stamped, I used a circle die to partially cut both ends of the 3/4" strip. Finally, I cut 3 more strips and stacked them all with glue to add a little dimension. Edges were brushed with DOX Worn Lipstick as were the other paper edges.

Finally, the darling Li'l Hedgie is popped up on an action wobble for a sweet & fun giggle!

Thanks so much for visiting!
